I watch TV.
Well, I also watch movies, play xbox360, read books and blog. These are only a few of my normal, daily type hobbies. I really like trailer camping and riding my 4 wheeler. I don't do that nearly as often as I would like. We all have things that we do to make us happy.
Let's talk about what other's do.
This morning at 6:45 as I was leaving my home for work, I met some folks that I know coming back to the neighborhood dripping with sweat after what must have been a 30 mile bike ride. I once heard it said that people who run, bike and exercise are "adding 10 years to their life". I say, "Yes, but they are spending those ten years running!"
Moving on...
At about 7:20, I witnessed a young man floating in the lake north of Blackfoot, ID. His boat was just getting ready to take up the slack, and HIT IT! Out he came, on one ski, soaking wet and in the immediate wind made by his powerful boat. What dedication to his hobby! This dude is out in the lake before the temp was even over 70.
I guess the real trick is.... Find something you like to do, and do it! Maybe that skier had to go to work at 9:00. I know the bike riders are now (after about 2 years on a fitness kick) one of the hottest couples in our ward. Find your motivations, set your goals and go do it!
As for me, I am very much motivated to have a large bowl of Tillamook Chocolate Ice Cream, followed up with a movie tonight. I will be sure to accomplish that!
What motivates you? What are some of your hobbies?
I so badly want to be in shape, and so badly hate exercise. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI commented on your FB about this, and now I have nothing to say here. You should from now on say , "What are your hobbies? Please go to my blog and answer." Mmm-K? :)
But I'm with you on the movies and ice cream thing. It's in my top five favorite things to do with an evening list.
I can't say what the others are.
I love going camping especially near water..where I can get my feet wet. My BP drops & I feel reunited with the Universe.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time..I loved scrapbooking. Then, I discovered digital scrapbooking. And now I have a secret love affair with photography. More then anything my hobbies are what my kids are into at that moment..football, dance, marching band, etc....maybe one day I will find my hobby self again..until then...
I love to make other people happy. No really I do! I love being so blessed that I can do it in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteI love to swim at Cresap Bay. I love having my kids love to swim & play there too. There is nothing like the relaxing sounds of boats and nature along with the amazing Washington State lake views. Hmmmm...it relaxes me just thinking about it.
I love to watch Deadliest Catch. It keeps my attention and surprises me how crazy people are just to catch crab. However, I do love fresh crab meat. Mmmm...yum!
I love to clean. I haven't enjoyed it quite as much in recent years thanks to many hands ready and willing to mess up my master pieces. However, the last few days I have cleaned walls, scrubbed floors, cleaned my carpets, and furniture and to walk downstairs and smell the clean, see the clean and enjoy the clean is so WONDERFUL! So in 15 years or so...I will again enjoy my spotless house until then I will relish in the sweet flavor of what kids can bring.
I love doing anything with my best friend, Daniel. We can just be sitting silently, deep in conversation, watching a show...it mattereth not as long as I am with him. He is my soulmate, my best friend, my better half. Without him I am not whole!
I could go on and on and I have enjoyed taking time to see what makes me happy as I have had a rough morning... Thank you for making me realize how much good I have in my life. Love you.
